The Red Shed

The Red Shed


The Red Shed oil on panel 8×10″

I found this shed down a dirt road outside Orlando. I like to just drive around sometimes with no idea in mind and see what I come upon. I liked this falling down shed in all its redness amongst what can otherwise be the overwhelm of summer green.I was sure I was in the country, but so many people stopped to talk, that you would have thought me in the city. But I guess that’s the difference between city and country, a lot of times country folks like to stop and chat.The first thing everyone said is how ugly this shed is and that they hope the next hurricane blows it down once and for all, but I had sympathy for the unknown owner of the shed, thinking if it were my place I would love to have a shed just like this one.
